Having figured out how to make a Jack Ryan action thriller with Patriot Games, the same cluster of filmmakers got to do it again... managing to improve virtually across the board.June 23, 2012
Well crafted if utterly conventional action thriller (third in Tom Clancy's series), whose best asset is Harrison Ford's star turn.February 09, 2006
There's a glimmer of interest in the film's ideological contortions, but as a commercial action thriller this is inflated and sluggish.January 13, 2010
It's a formula film with a typically dubious political message, but the storytelling is livelier and more engaging than previous adaptations of Clancy's turgid techno-thrillers.January 01, 2000
For what it is, Clear and Present Danger is fun to sit through.August 08, 2008
Narrative complexity and momentum make this a true cinematic equivalent of an absorbing page-turner.January 01, 2000
The uneven flow is as likely to lead to a snoozing viewer as to one on the edge of their seat.May 20, 2003
In a film that opens with the sight of a waving American flag, subtlety may not be foremost on anyone's mind. But Mr. Ford's wary intelligence does wonders for a potentially one-dimensional character.August 09, 2012
Ford's second and final appearance as Jack Ryan is a sprawling thriller.September 04, 2007
Passable entertainmentJanuary 13, 2010
This is the third movie with Jack as its hero, so he is a known quantity -- a humanist spook with an overdeveloped moral sense -- but Ford, playing the part for the second time, knows how to keep his earnestness fresh.February 06, 2010
None of it is uplifting or tells us something fresh, but it passes as easy viewing entertainment.
